what do the acrs of governments have to do with people. The UN is the focus of all western governments, all western governments re involved and all western peoples are threatened, the U.S. was just a symbolic act against the west because it sets itself up as the guardian of the west. Of course Bin Laden is responsible, whoever doubts that is being a candy ass. If the Taliban government is sincere in its apologies and denials it should offer him up to the west and he should face the justice he deserves. I lost a friend yesterday, a dear and sweet person who didn't mean any harm to anyone, but because she was american she suffered the "consequences". Shoot the buggers and bedamned, we're all damned anyway.
